Marianne Hatzopoulou presents “The Paradox of Net-Zero: Cities, Transportation & Health”

Online Event

Join us December 2nd at noon as Professor Marianne Hatzopoulou confronts the challenges of climate change on transportation. Climate-change mitigation in the transportation sector is a wicked-hard problem. Low emission technologies have begun to demonstrate some promise for air quality improvements. However, higher demand for these same technologies can therefore enable uncontrolled consumption. Almost every […]

Eric Miller presents “Everything you wanted to know about report writing but were afraid to ask”

Online Event

This presentation discusses various elements of report writing as a guide to graduate students preparing term project reports, journal articles, theses, etc. It is intended to address some typical issues that graduate students encounter in their writing. Topics discussed include: report organization; report style; treatment of tables, figures, exhibits and appendices; grammar and syntax; spelling […]

Dr. Lama Alfaseeh presents “Prediction of Greenhouse Gas Emission in Downtown Toronto Using Deep Sequence Learning”

Online Event

Mitigating the substantial undesirable impact of transportation systems on the environment is paramount. Thus, predicting Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is one of the profound topics, especially with the emergence of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). We developed a deep learning framework to predict link-level GHG emission rate (ER) (in CO2eq gram/second) based on the most representative […]

Dr. Francisco Calderón Peralvo presents “Modelling Mobility Services within Agent-Based Travel Demand Model Systems and Implementation of a Ridehailing Case Study”

Online Event

Modelling increasingly dynamic and complex mobility services requires significant extensions to our conventional agent-based microsimulation (ABM) model systems. A first key aspect focuses on explicit modelling of more complex and dynamic service provision processes, involving several operational activities conducted by service providers (e.g., matching, fleet rebalancing, dynamic pricing, etc.). A second key aspect consists of […]

Daniel Olejarz presents “AI in Transportation – Industry Trends and Opportunities”

Online Event

This seminar focuses on the current state of applied artificial intelligence (AI) in the transportation industry. The main focus is on describing the different types of AI applications that currently exist in transportation and the demand for data science skills in the industry. Case studies and personal anecdotes inform thoughts on what the future holds […]

Professor Sheng Liu presents “Data-Driven Approaches in Smart City Operations”

Online Event

This talk presents two projects that build data-driven solutions for city operations planning and management. The first part is devoted to the emerging food delivery operations. Working with a major food delivery service provider in China, we develop a data-driven optimization framework to minimize customers' expected delivery delay. To capture the driver's routing behaviors, we […]

Patrick Loa presents “Exploring the Impacts of COVID-19 on Modality Styles for Non-Mandatory Trips in the Greater Toronto Area”

Online Event

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted travel behaviour in cities across the world, affecting how people travel and the reasons people leave their homes. In spite of the pandemic, and consequent the stay-at-home orders, the need to participate in non-mandatory activities remains. These activities, which include grocery shopping, social activities, and recreational activities, play a […]
